Dryads

Dryads are from Greek mythology and are nymphs associated with trees and forests. This image captures a secret tree in a secret spot. Everyone needs a space where no-one can find them. I like to walk to this place in a valley in the woods and to look up through the dappled light and listen to the wood-thrushes' call. Moss is cushiony and cool under one's feet. That said, I'm never totally alone. Chickadees often gather too and despite being little, they have huge opinions!
